An archeologist is the best husband any woman can have: the older she
gets, the more interested he is in her.

Any medical man who predicts exactly when a patient will die, or exactly
how long he will live, is bound to make a fool of himself. The human
factor is always incalculable. The weak have often unexpected powers of
resistance, the strong sometimes succumb.

Any woman can fool a man if she wants to and if he's in love with her.

But surely for everything you have to love you have to pay some price.
